Intelligent Transportation System with Diverse Semi-Autonomous Vehicles

Abstract

Abstract: It is becoming increasingly likely that in the future most vehicles will be semi-autonomous with communication capabilities and will possess diverse speed capabilities. The aim of this paper is to describe the creation of an integrated traffic simulation system for such settings. While behaviours such as crossing, overtaking, etc. are trivially exhibited, the implemented system includes an intelligent traffic lights operating system, dynamic speed limits for speed lanes, lane reservation, road reservation, density regularization or traffic jam avoidance, replanning for blockages and re-routing under slow traffic conditions.
